Science on the Window Sill

We had a bird build a nest on our office window sill. We spent the day researching what kind of bird built the nest and laid 4 light blue eggs in it. It’s an American Robin! This bird is part of the Thrush family so the boys decided it is our hobbit bird since in the book, The Hobbit, it says on Thorin’s map,

“Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the setting sun with the last light of Durin’s Day will shine upon the keyhole.”

So wonderful! We had a robin’s nest once on our woodpile when I was a kid – I still have a picture my grandmother took of the newly hatched baby bird! Such precious memories : )

The big boys have daily work that is not reflected in my weekly homeschool posts. Their foundational work has changed over the years in relation to where they are developmentally. Currently, the big boys do the following in the morning before their daily themed work after lunch:
Silent reading, Math (Aleks), Writing Skills, and Lumosity (neuroplasticity) - and audiobooks in the evenings
